Updating theme product template

Hello I am a shopify developer and I am trying to replace my client’s shopify product template. I create the template in another theme. I copied all of the assets and sections and I have a custom index.liquid and a custom theme liquid and I am trying to merge the changes in the product liquid into the impulse theme. It’s not recognizing the section files… nothing really seems to be working. What would you reccomend I do here?

thanks in advance

Hi @rvandyke123

This is a really hard problem for someone to help because there are 1000 things that can cause your issue. Without knowing your current setup and how you have integrated your theme to this shop, it’s almost impossible to know what is the problem

However, my recommendation will be to follow the shopify way of creating/updating themes i.e. through github integration. Then developing, testing and publishing a theme becomes pretty easy

Also, you could be running into versions issues. I would check to make sure whatever you are trying to “merge” is something that is supported by that theme you are merging into

I am taking wild shots here because I really can’t see what’s is happening but I hope these two tips may help steer you into the right direction!
